Recording notes

From The Band Geek Mafia (1998). The Band Geek Mafia is Voodoo Glow Skulls' fourth full-length album. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Telecaster through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Voodoo Glow Skulls' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
